What is a Prayer Partner?

The Prayer Partner is one of the most important people in helping establish the Kingdom of God here on earth, as they are the backbone of any ministry. Prayer partners pull down the strongholds so those sent to the mission field can accomplish what they are called to accomplish. Prayer connects the throne room of heaven to earth and a prayer partner is a partnership with Him and those in the mission field. It is the Prayer Partner that prays and intercedes for people on a local, national and on a global basis as they work to pull down the strongholds, praying for His presence, His will to be done in people(s) lives or areas, to resolve needs, and open new areas of evangelism. Prayer is key as it unlocks His will and presence because His house is a house of prayer. Those that dwell with Him will pray and seek His presence.

Prayer is a difficult job to do and stay focused on and we recognize that, but we also know that prayer is the first step to getting things turned around. If we are going to do something about starvation, crime, etc., then we as His people need to understand His ways, covenants and statutes so we can dwell with Him and He with us so we can be effective in prayer. Christians need to learn how to get serious about prayer and what prayer can do for us. We all need more of Jesus and we need to remember to invite Him in everything that we do.

The Prayer Partner is instrumental in putting an end to disease, starvation, crime, abuses and addictions, and can even put an end to war. The focus of the Prayer Partner is one of intercession and prayer. Prayer helps establish the new believer and maintains the worker in the field, Gal. 4:19. It is through prayer that we can be victorious as we reach out to a hurting world in need.
